Lately I’ve been jokingly saying that as comedians, we’re safe as long as

The Epic Rise and Fall of a Dark-Web Psychedelics Kingpin

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

It's #GivingTuesday! Which means everyone's getting loads of email about donating to a nonprofit.
We need to move into a new building. Kinda like this one. And if we want to do that, we have to put an offer in on it by the end of the year.
Can you help?

New article out at The Skeptic UK. We need to talk about men. It’s not the only conversation we need to have, but we need to have it. Here’s my take on one aspect of the problem, the meaning-making crisis for men. www.skeptic.org.uk/2024/11/the-...
